Have you heard of "Lock Jaw" ?

this was originally not vw related as it happened at work a week ago but it was 90 percent healed when i skinned it again today

nice..... bring back the carnage thread!

A few weeks back I was scrapping some metal getting the brass out of a porcelain fixture when it bit me.

The last video is for Raj!!

nice looks like a Psychologist blotter Tell me what you see here

This is the aftermath of a cutoff wheel exploding..... 12 stitches and blood everywhere.

ouch ive had them explode but never got hit

That is scary! I always worry about them when i am using one. Full face shield though!!

He is really lucky. A few inches more and it could have been lights out. Glad he's okay.

Glad he's ok. Was there a shield on the wheel? I've had Dremel wheels break, but they don't have enough mass to go far/do much damage. I've never seen a 3.5 or 4" wheel grenade before.

No shield...

"Flying without a net"

I've seen some carnage from unshielded wheels, twice I drove a buddy up for stitches because he insisted on continuing to use it. The second time the ER wait time was too long, so we went to the drug store for some butterfly closures and a splint. They were out of splints, so we each ate a popsicle and used the sticks. The wheel had cauterized the cut anyway.

Nah, we ain't redneck.

I do have an unshielded wire wheel that is capable of holding a cutoff wheel. I think I've done it once, I forget why. I recommend ALWAYS wearing protection though. I once took off my goggles after using the wheel and had a stabbing pain in my nose, right between the eyes. I had a stray wire embedded and my goggles hit it while coming off.

About 10 years ago I finally bought a full face shield due to the wire wheel scratching my glasses. About a week later the object I was holding got loose and flew into my face bouncing off the shield. It would of left a nice mark if I didn't have the shield on.

Remember... wear protection.

Didnt The split bus guy that moved to Rochester ( his name escapes me at the moment) get a strand of the wire wheel into the eye ball? That... was a one ugly picture!
